I long for the day this is finally given a proper English dub. The closest I ever experienced was an 80's era Hong Kong English language dub. Back in the 2000's, they finally released the old Macross TV show in its pure, unchanged form with proper North American English dub. Wish Macross: DYRL was given the same treatment.
The level of mechanical detail in every frame of this film is borderline masochistic. It's incredible, especially considering this was 1984, but man just thinking about the amount of work that must have went into every frame makes my wrists hurt on thought alone. That uniquely organic, complex look to the technology, from the Macross itself to the Valkyries to even the city and all the small doo-dads like the launch cranes is just such a unique aesthetic you don't see anymore.
It's interesting to consider that in a modern animated film, the complicated machines and interior backdrops would likely be created as three-dimensional models, then textured to fit with the cel-animated look. However, such creations - even if they achieved the insane level of mechanical detail seen here - would invariably lack the "wobble" inherent in the hand-inked cel art that makes everything look so dense and organic. Plus, it would actually take a huge amount of work to achieve the effect of the way these cuts are lit - the shadows, reflections, and highlights are not realistic at all, and don't all follow "correct" ray paths. Everything is exaggerated in order to create a feeling of intense and overwhelming density. Black paint is practically slathered everywhere to create inky depth and make the over-abundance of specular highlines pop.
Nailed it. I had a friend group I joined for cod mw3 back in 2012-2013, that were big into Anime. I mentioned I liked Gundam, macross, gasaraki and votoms. One member asked how old I was, I replied 25. He laughed and said you from the anime you mentioned I expected you to be 30 plus. I love conventional sci-fi mecha. The new stuff just doesn’t catch it like the 80s and early 90s anime. Plus the darker colors and serious tones. Anime today just seems to happy go lucky, made for kids, and doesn’t capture detail.
Absolutely. I first saw this when I was 9 yrs old. A friend of mine borrowed it from a Japanese friend of his. A bunch of us were at his house watching it and this was the coolest chit I'd ever seen in my life considering it had the same effect on me that seeing Star Wars for the first time did. Growing up in LA, and in the US, especially back then...We never saw anime much if at all unless you had cable and most of us didn't in 1984 lol. And the music/score was also cinematic and nothing like music we grew up hearing in animated films. Even Disney films weren't this detailed and didn't feel "adult" like this movie did. Our animated films also didn't have adult-like romantic dynamics between M and F characters.
CGI as it stands today cannot replicate all the detail of hand drawn animation like in this movie! I have watched this movie for over 30 years and I still find something I have missed, the detail is exceptional!
The thing is, I think this might be a style issue as well as a tech issue. Even in modern high budget anime films, I don't see the level of technical detail that I've witnessed in films and OVAs from the late '80s to early '90s. And it SUCKS that we probably won't see this kind of thing ever again, cel *or* CGI!
One of the best intros ever. Just watching the SDF-1 come out of the shadows, the bridge chatter, the street scenes, it just sets the mood for the entire movie.
This looks amazing !!!! I first saw this retelling as a kid in the 80s and This scene was the was the moment I fell in love with this series that violin score always gets me !!!! Amazing Amazing series !!!!
It’s probably aged even better with time, like fine wine. Between the reliance on CGI these days (which I don’t think is bad, but why can’t we have some purely 2D stuff along with it), to the fact most western animation at the time didn’t even attempt to be art or non-commercial, to the fact that we will never again get passionate animation and storytelling like this again until pay and working conditions drastically improve back to at least 1980’s OVA levels-this film is a refreshing masterpiece to someone who’s never seen anything like it and will never see anything like it again.
Same here! I live in trinidad and i first saw this in 1988 at the age of seven i was soooo Blown Away by this Beautiful anime the art work all those details and and it's soundtrak.❤🇹🇹
I'm 53 and still have my Bootleg VHS of this with no subtitles that I bought from my local Comic Book Shopkeeper who smuggled it in to the States in 1986. I still hum the music too and often play the clip of MinMei singing during the final battle sequence while I'm getting ready for work in the morning : )
I recently bought this on Blu-Ray for my older brother and I also sent him the model of the movie version SDF-1 in ship mode. He keeps telling me he has set aside time to build it.
@daitsukishiro1505 Good thing too, cause didn't Earth's entire population got wiped out? So what ever races were left on board the macross is what humanity had to repopulate with.
Beautiful piece of art. I watched it for the first time ever in 2021 but it quickly filled me with a sense of nostalgia, idk why, but I fell in love with this movie.
When seeing Macross slowly appears in space for the first time, it felt like seeing the floating mountains in Avatar for the first time. I'm not a big fan of CG, but I know that when done right, they can achieve what hand drawings and practical effects can't do (like Terminator 2). The problem with lots of CG shots nowadays is that they simply feel cheap and lazy: you don't feel the efforts of the animators; it's all about getting it done fast and saving costs. As someone who loves to draw, I can really feel the efforts of the people who created this animation. They really took time to write the story and plan every scenes. They really loved their work. Maybe they didn't attend to all the details like most modern CG, but it's all about showing pertinent details and not all the details. That's why this animation is a pure work of art and not just another cheap production by people who only know to cramp as many unnecessary details to dazzle people. This movie is timeless and is till breath-taking even 10 years later If you really love this animation, you must also watch Castle in the Sky (the Japanese version).
I will never get over this intro. Amazing hand-drawn animation, stellar music. The ship is just amazing. Makes me wish there were more shows set in giant space cities like this. Gundam 0080: War in the pocket did a decent job.
I used to have a big book from Japan in the late 80's of all full color concept art from Macross. The painstaking detail astounded me. I had the book before I ever saw the movies so I had no idea what it said or what it was about(although I could work out the basic plot from the images), and the characters names were in English, so I knew Minme etc lol. Anyway, it was great and I wasn't disappointed when I finally did see it many years later.
My dad has a copy of the script in English from back in the day before subtitles abroad. You listen to what they say and have a translation in your lap
Fun fact: within the fictional universe of Macross, this movie exists - as an dramatization of Space War 1, released in-universe as a feature film. Thus explaining difference in plot from the television series - the filmmakers took the typical liberties filmmakers take with historical dramas.
I hope the next Macross installment will have a tone like ''Do You Remember Love''. Don't get me wrong, all other Macross series do have positive traits, but their are missing the feel and tone of the original ones. -No idols(unless she's at the level of Lynn Minmay) -More humanoid on humanoid war -More political intrigue -No more Highschool students -Larger cast of characters -More gruesome deaths of main characters -Disregard the Protodeviln and Mardook stories -Soundtrack in the same style as original composer Kentaro Haneda -Villains should be more related to Protoculture in appearance
The sad thing is we can't have scenes like this again as labor cost is not like it used to be. Different skill and mind sets pushes studio to pursue 3D render instead of hand drawn animation.
I watched this as a kid I just realized now that in the bridge scene some of the language spoken were English while Misa answers in Japanese. The same thing in the Valkyrie dock. While the Zentradi sounded like they were speaking Italian or some other form of European language.
Holy shit i never watched Macross but i instantly felt the HUGE influence it had on anime in general. This scene on particularly made me go "So this is where Evangelion comes from".
@@Pedro-zu3uqEvangelion cannibalized mecha as a whole, 0079 Gundam and Eva side by side it's almost annoying - Eva is known in the west more than Gundam and it shouldn't be like this.

This is the peak of 80s anime. Beautiful aesthetic. Lovely and painstakingly drawn by hand.
